"NoSQL is the correct answer."

No, no it isn't. It never is. Just as building your house on a rubber foundation isn't the correct answer either. This is just cope. Unless your use cases don't care about losing data or data corruption at all, NoSQL isn't the correct answer.

You are probably correct. I was just parroting what I have seem from the industry. Isn't it common for even big start ups to have decided to go with rubber for their foundation? It seems to not be a wise decision, yet many engineers do take this path. And that is why I end up confused on this type of discussion.
